The easiest way to create a custom XML playlist for Alive Media Player is to use XSPF playlist format.

XSPF Playlist Example:

<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
                <trackList>
                               <track>
                                               <title>Title 1</title>
                                               <creator>Author's Name</creator>
                                               <location>Song URL</location>
                                               <image>Thumb/preview image URL</image>
                               </track>

                               <track>
                                               <title>Title 2</title>
                                               <creator>Author's Name</creator>
                                               <location>Song 2 URL</location>
                                               <image>Thumb/preview image URL</image>
                                               <info>http://www.considero.net</info>
                               </track>
